Texas Traumatic Back Injury Lawsuits including Spinal Cord Injury Lawsuits as well as Crushed Disc, Bulged Disc, and Herniated Disc Lawsuits

A serious back injury or spinal cord injury can cause extreme pain and paralysis requiring back surgery, physical therapy, home health care providers, and medical devices & equipment.  Recovering from a back injury or spinal cord injury case take years and in many instances full impairment may never be obtained.  In the more severe cases, the injured person may need help in their day to day life and may not be able to do many of things that they were able to do prior to the traumatic back injury or spinal cord injury.

The human spinal cord is a nerve center in the body that is surrounded by 33 bones or vertebrae.  Located between each vertebrae is a spinal disc which is a liquid filled disc shaped pouch.  These discs are stacked on top of one another and act as shock absorbers allowing the spine to flex, bend, and twist.  When functioning properly, the vertebrae and discs protect the spinal cord allowing nerve impulses to travel from and to the brain to other parts of the body.  This allows us to experience sensations, move our bodies, and control many bodily functions.

Problems arise when the vertebrae, discs, or spinal cord are injured.  Broken vertebrae can damage and impinge on discs or the spinal cord causing extreme pain, numbness, and loss of control of bodily functions.  Back injuries can occur through many different types of traumatic events and can result in paralysis, pain, and impairment.  Depending where and how severe the injury is will determine what type and how severe the paralysis.

Cervical Decompression and Fusion Surgery, Lumbar Decompression and Fusion Surgery, and Spinal Implants (Spinal Cord and Back Surgery)

Fortunately, medical science has come a long way in treating back injuries and spinal cord injuries.  Good neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons can often perform back surgery that can help severe spinal cord and back injuries.

Some types of back and neck surgery include:

Artificial Disc Replacement - is a procedure that involves replacing a painful disc that is causing chronic back pain with an artificial disc that provides pain relief without compromising the spine's natural anatomical structure.

Cervical Spinal Fusion - uses a bone graft in the cervical or neck/upper back to stop the motion at a painful vertebral segment for the purpose of decreasing pain generated from the damaged part of the cervical back, upper back, or neck.

Cervical Decompression Surgery - Decompression surgery involves removing a small portion of the bone over the nerve root and/or disc material from under the nerve root to relieve pinching of the nerve and provide more room for the nerve to heal.   Depending on the patient's condition including cervical impingement an Ananterior Cervical Decompression Surgery (Discectomy), a Posterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion Surgery (Microdiscectomy), or a combination of operating from the front and back of the patient may be used. 

Cervical Decompression and Fusion Surgery - Decompression surgery involves removing a small portion of the bone over the nerve root and/or disc material from under the nerve root to relieve pinching of the nerve and provide more room for the nerve to heal.  The decompression surgery will sometimes de-stabilize the spine and create the need for a fusion to add stability. In these cases spinal instrumentation (such as a small plate) can also be used to help add stability to the spinal construct.  Depending on the patient's cervical impingement an Ananterior Cervical Decompression Surgery (Discectomy) or a Posterior Cervical Decompression (Microdiscectomy) and Fusion Surgery (Discectomy) or a combination of operating from the front and back of the patient may be used. 

Lumbar Spinal Fusion - uses a bone graft in the lumbar or lower part of a person's back to stop the motion at a painful vertebral segment for the purpose of decreasing pain generated from the damaged part of the lumbar or lower back.

Lumbar Decompression Surgery (Laminectomy) - Decompression surgery involves removing a small portion of the bone over the nerve root and/or disc material from under the nerve root to relieve pinching of the nerve and provide more room for the nerve to heal.   

Lumbar Decompression and Fusion Surgery - The decompression and fusion surgeries are often used together because decompression surgery involves removing a small portion of the bone over the nerve root and/or disc material from under the nerve root to relieve pinching of the nerve and provide more room for the nerve to heal.  Thus, decompression surgery or a laminectomy will sometimes de-stabilize the spine and create the need for a fusion to add stability. In these cases spinal instrumentation (such as a small plate) can also be used to help add stability to the spinal construct.    

In addition to the above back surgeries, there are numerous implants and spinal devices as well as injections that can help people recover from back and spinal cord injuries.  These procedures and devices can reduce pain cause by back injuries as well as help reduce impairment.  However, it is extremely important when considering back surgery or other spinal procedures to make sure that you have a competent doctor and medical staff that you trust.  A failed back surgery or defective medical device can cause more impairment, pain, and health problems than none at all.  It is important to understand the risks of any back surgery or medical treatment.
